Overgrowing undergrowth

The undergrowth and its soil is growing over the tarmac road surface by around 25cm on the B3347 Salisbury Road at Winkton, between the last house on the Northbound side and the county boundary, thus artificially narrowing the road. I cycle up this stretch most mornings in the rush hour and am forced towards the middle of the road, making it quite a hairy experience with traffic trying to overtake me and with traffic traveling in the other direction too.

Updates
Christchurch council emailed me today with the following:
"Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding the verge overgrowing on to the footway just past Fishermans Haunt to the County boundary. I have just asked our Works manager to provide a quote to have the footway sided back of vegetation, soil etc with a view to carry out the work early in the new year ( year starting in April 2007 )."
